BREAKING:

Elon Musk has officially announced the creation of new political party the America Party.

I personally think this is a HUGE mistake.  No one on the left will join, so all he is doing is SCREWING UP the GOP. 

He will just peel off the RINOs.

Will the America Party consider the federal and state governments pouring massive subsidies into both Telsa and SpaceX  waste or fraud or abuse --- or all three?

The GOP screwed itself,  And us, too.  This new party won't peel off any RINOs.  It will only peel off Conservatives.  The Trump zealots should be ecstatic over this.

Yup. Conservatives have been looking for somewhere to go for a long, long time. A whole lot of us will hear him like a ringing bell.

Why do you still rage against Trump AND his supporters? @Hoodat

[rustynail]

The 'America Party' founder wants to restrict assault weapons.

I didn't rage against anyone.  Personally, I don't give a damn that you hate Conservatives.  Enjoy the table you have set.

[roamer_1]

What does the America Party say about issues other than spending, including: taxes, fair trade, DEI, transgender rights, right to life, border security, global interventions, military v bread & butter, school choice?

Or will the second coming of TEA flame out like the first?

You don't get it, even yet: Small government takes care of most of those problems inherently.

[roamer_1]

Because it is plastic banana bullshit.

[Hoodat]

"I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun."

From The America We Deserve - Donald Trump

This ⬇️ reference to zealots is a rage.  Granted, it's a little low-T, but a rage nonetheless.

It will only peel off Conservatives.  The Trump zealots should be ecstatic over this.

So, why do you still rage against Trump supporters?

There is no such thing as a winning national, one issue political party. So, kick the horse off the fainting couch.  You're going to need it, again.

[240B]

Made me laugh. Yeah right? Let's all join the new Reform Party!
Elon is a bipolar genius. He is as unstable as he is brilliant.

As we have already seen, a month from now he may say ...
Nope, changed my mind. I'm back with Trump now.

Elon Musk is Great! (but he is also bonkers)

[roamer_1]

That may be true. But it's one helluva good start. If Musk stays in classic libertarianism, Conservatives will naturally hear him.

You clearly are confusing 'ecstasy' with 'rage'.  Considering how much you hate Conservatives and how much you support all the Democrat policies that Trump backs, I am really surprised that you would not be thrilled at this turn of events.  Musk (and Conservatives) want to balance the budget.  They want to end deficit spending.  They want to marginalize the Fed.  They want smaller government.  They want to end corruption.  So this is a wonderful opportunity for you to detach yourself from those opposed to your political philosophy.  Again, you should be ecstatic.

Say what you want about Musk.  But he handed you a winning strategy that would cement Republican control over government for the next quarter century.  Yet when the vote came down, the current Party chose Democrat-lite.  Again.  So the Dems will still have $40 billion in USAID money over the next two years to siphon from to fund their 2026 races.  All because Republicans stupidly chose to reject the gift that Musk handed them.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Yep. Feckless. Not enough feck to put on the head of a pin.

Remember, it was only yesterday that Musk was the 'superstar' of far-Left radicals. The way politics today swings like a pendulum, based mostly on social media, Musk could yet again become loved by Liberals (in whatever scenario we cannot foresee).

The Democrat Party has an approval rate of less than 20% of their own membership. Elon Musk may actually completely destroy it in finality. If Elon continues to fiercely trash Trump and Republicans, as he is doing now, he may yet become the new leader of what used to be called Democrats.

There are strange things happing every day. We are living through some very bizarre times. Our grandchildren will wonder at us, as we are in wonder of our forefathers. What the hell was going on back then!?

you could take Musk's name out of your quote and put in Tumpy's and it would be every bit as true.

I don't know if that's true.  He was definitely the superstar of reddit millennials, especially those whose parents suffered from the sub-prime mortgage fiasco.  But the far left?  They hated Musk, primarily for his capitalist success and for his wealth.  Musk has always been a threat to their big government utopia.

Who knows? But even if, it would not even measure as a pittance against what is funded now. So let's find out! I'll take that road. At least for a ways.

Sure he has my attention, but it's just way too soon to make a decision about him.

Odds are not in favor of a 3rd party win and he himself is ineligible to run....so who is he going to tap to run?

Sorry but this reeks of what Ross Perot did in 1992---stupid and self-defeating.  And how'd that turn out for the country?  It would be even worse now!

Many are casually dismissing Elon's 3rd party move.He could do major damage as a spoiler. He was an integral part of the MAGA coalition but obviously feels betrayed. I think he's wrong, that Trump's doing exactly what he said he would, & that major cuts take time (& the votes).

Someone in a position to do so should try to get through to him -- if that hasn't already occurred. I hate the national debt as much as anyone, but eventually it's going to require "entitlement" reform. There's not enough discretionary spending to put a dent in it. The math is just the math and so few seem to have come to grips with this.

I believe Elon -- as opposed to leftists -- genuinely wants to save America, but I also believe he's going about it the wrong way -- big time. God help us.
